well you kind of write it yourself: "proof of relationship to the DTV visa holder: e.g. a copy of marrige cerificate..."

I have not read any official document about this that is specific for DTV, other than the proof you just mention. Just know what's been accepted as a dependant on other visa types...

For instance, in many countries cohabitation is defined by law, but in Thailand your legal marital status is concidered as single even if you lived with your partner for 20 years etc.

You can also read about it in previous posts such as:

I'd like to add that your partner can not apply as a dependant to you unless you are married... he/she would need to apply for their own DTV or a different type of visa.

Brandon knows a lot! And like he writes it's a myth. It likely comes from the fact that if you stay more than 180 days in ANY country you are considered to be a tax resident in that country.

@Rene *****

that is possible of course!

@Javier ****************

no, schreenshots are not accepted. They want scanned bank statements for 1-6 months depending on what embassy you apply through.

And yes, you pay when you apply. It is a fee for processing the visa application (they do the process, no matter if the application is approved or denied).

@Gary *******

that should not be any problem, bouncing back and forth during your 3 weeks.

If you stay 2-3 days each time, probably 20+ times... if you try to live in Thailand on visa exempt, just doing border bounces, you will get stopped sooner or later. There are no rule/law that regulates this. Also there are no specific for a calender year and no reset at new year. The IO check the combined travel history in your passport and if it looks like you're trying to live in Thailand without a visa, you will eventually be denied entry. If your travel history shows that you are a genuine tourist, there's no need to worry or count entries.

@Alian ************

you should have stopped with "Purpose of visit: supporting docs that align with your purpose of stay." Then it would describe any DTV-application. (Employment and business licence is not for any of the soft power options.)

@Greg **********

just try the platform, choose tourism/leisure and see for yourself!

@Graham *****

exactly (which is why the embassies request makes no sense)!
